Hayes and Alexander E. Kosty, are seeking the nomination for state senator and the right to oppose the Republican winner in the November general election.
Kosty, a Corning councilman, received the party's nomination and was defeated by Jerry in 1958 and 1960. Hayes, a retired newspaperman, is a former Corning councilman. The Chemung County fight for the Democratic assembly nomination is between Elmira Heights Mayor Charles L. Bowers and Francis W. Crowley, an official of the State Division of Fire Safety, who also lives in the Heights.

Assembly Scrap Another battle expected to bring out voters in sizable numbers is for the GOP nomination for Chemung County assemblyman, a post being vacated by re tiring Assemblyman Harry J. Tifft of Horseheads. (Editor's Note: Miriam Charlap, a member of the The Star-Gazette staff, is in Israel as Chemung County's community ambassador.
Today we print the seventh report on her experiences and impressions). By MIRIAM CHARLAP TEL AVIV The streets of Tel Aviv are a continual fashion show. Women's dress runs from exotic looking slack sets to the sleekest of dresses. The best time of day to observe the fashion parade is after 4 p. m.
The shops have reopened and the women, taking advantage of cooler weather, lounge comfortably in sidewalk cafes calling to their friends as they pass. Younger women are often seen in streamlined slacks of a solid color and a long over-blouse of a contrasting print. Shades of magenta and green are the favorities in this category. To further the effect of this outfit they earry large straw bags, often the same color as the slacks. Their hairdos are very chic coming straight from the Vieing for the nomination are Atty.

The heat keeps Jewisch women from making use of their marvelous knitwear. It is on sale primarily for the tourists. Israeli knitwear is the finest I have ever seen. It's comparable to the best America has to offer, and at one third the cost. Fashion shows at the big hotels and at autitoriums are centered about the knitwear story.
Blue is the favorite color in all shades. The spotlight is shared equally by one-piece dresses, two piece dresses and three piece suits. Israeli stores offer alterations free of charge or at an' amazingly nominal fee. To completely make over a knit suit may cost as little as $2. The workmanship is superb.
THE FASHION market is much different than that in America. There is no Seventh Avenue where buyers may dash in and out buying lines for their departments. There are factories, located in various ports of the country, where stores may purchase ready-made clothing. All shops and stores have a staff of seamstresses and much of what they sell is made right there. There is one chain store operation in the country which has its own factory.
The stores sell nothing but what the factory provides. The clothing is high style at low cost. The appeal is to the large middle and lower classes. Many Israeli women have their own dressmakers. For $7 the dressmaker will make two dresses and a blouse.
This is done minus the aid of a pattern. She merely measures and then does what you ask of her. A GREAT DEAL of time is spent in the beauty shop. A wash and set costs $1. Many of the younger girls have their hair done two or three times each week.
The beaches are inhabited by lovely young things in bikinis and terrific looking beach hats of colorful straw. Some one-piece suits are worn; not only by the older set, but by younger women too. Makeup is used very little. Many girls do indulge in lipsticks. Their skin is smooth and spotless.

Still another countywide Republican contest concerns the county clerk's job, being vacated by the retirement of J. Anson Saunders.
Principals in this contest are Harry C. Shepard, manager of the Mark Twain Municipal Golf Course, and Howard J. Griswold, Chemung County jury commissioner.

Two pumps, one on loan from the Elmira Water Board and one borrowed from the state, are placed on standby in case of low pressure and breakdown. "What we need is a steady rain to fill up the wells," the mayor said.
The mayor believes he has spotted a leak in the reservoir with a pair of "divining rods." He said the leak cannot be repaired without draining the reservoir first.

One humorous incident occurred just before Mrs.
